In context the Simpsons were on point, kids/younger children especially hate Arby's. Roast beef sandwiches aren't on a kids radar. My pops would make two stop anytime he got Arby's since no one else was eating it.

Arby's chicken club and market fresh sandwiches are AMAZING! It's a place you eat at in moderation mostly because it's expensive but they're menu has a nice variety.

When I was younger I used to think Arby's looked disgusting. The roast beef looked as if you had to chew on it for about 10 minutes before you swallowed. Never forget my mom making me eat one of her extra cheddar roast beef sandwiches...been hooked ever since

The market fresh sandwiches are good, the chicken sandwich is actually one of the better fast food chicken sandwiches, the fries and potato cakes are good, the apple turnover is good, and the roast beef isn't bad either. I haven't had it in years, but Arby's was always good money to me. You're all right about it always being dead though.
